This morning, UPS showed my box of author books loaded on a truck in Knoxville at 5:00 a.m. Twelve hours later they arrive in the midst of a sudden sleet shower. Beautifully packed, altogether beautiful, the fruit of a long journey. My lovely idea of photographing Jesse the dog with box fails because of a poor camera, the blackness of Jesse drowning out all detail and most of all his unwillingness to pose. But never mind, the books are here and I’m making up a list of all the wonderful people who edited or critiqued or helped research or were just here during the journey.
Pamela Schoenewaldt, historical novels of immigration and the search for self in new worlds: WHEN WE WERE STRANGERS, SWIMMING IN THE MOON, and UNDER THE SAME BLUE SKY (all HarperCollins).
